function of this projector.

20 - ENGLISH

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use

About Wireless LANs

The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.

On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are

not made.

fA malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail

and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.

fA malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in

the following types of behavior. Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak) Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoong) Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering) Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)

Since most wireless LAN adapters or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device.

Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase. To decrease the possibility of occurrence of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-related settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.

Depending on the specications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings by special means.

Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security

settings, and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.

Early Warning Software

The projector supports “Early Warning Software”, which monitors the status of the display (projector and at panel display) and the peripheral devices inside an intranet, and noties of abnormality of such equipment and detects signs of possible abnormality. Also, maintenance can be performed in advance, because this software gives notication of approximate time to replace consumables of the display, to clean each part of the display, and to

replace the components of the display.

Depending on the type of license, the number of displays that can be registered for monitoring varies. Limited to the rst 90 days after installation in a computer, it is possible to register up to 2048 units of displays free of charge. Download the software from Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/pass/). It is necessary to register and login to PASS

to download.

Cautions on use

rTo get a good picture quality

fIn order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or

blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps

from shining onto the screen.

rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and

projected onto the screen.

Attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or with the optional projection lens to the projector when you do

not use the projector.

ENGLISH - 21

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use

rLCD panel

fThe LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always

lit. Note that such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear.

rOptical parts

When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plates and other optical parts may be shorter even

if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details.

rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.

Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.

rLamp

The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.

fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage. fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or

degradation due to cumulative runtime.

fThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous

use for 12 hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the

lamp life. fIn rare cases, the lamp bursts shortly after projection starts. fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the

lamp unit regularly.

(“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 141), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x page 142))

fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke. fIt is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency.

rComputer and external device connections

When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well.

Disposal

To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct

methods of disposal.

fWhen operating the remote control by directly pointing the remote control signal receiver of the projector, operate the remote control at

a distance approx. 30 m (98'5") or shorter from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30°

vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.

fIf there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver, the remote control may not operate properly. fThe signal will be reected off the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reection loss due to the screen material. fIf the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as uorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly. Use

it in a place distant from the light source.

fThe power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY(R)> will blink if the projector receives a remote control signal.

When using the system with multiple projectors

When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector individually by using single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.

When you want to set the ID number, at rst you need to complete the Initial setting, and then after setting the ID number of the projector, set the ID number on the remote control.

About Initial setting, please refer to “When the initial setting screen is displayed” (x page 47). The factory default ID number of the unit (the projector and the remote control) is set to [ALL], you can control with

this setting. If necessary, please set the ID number to the remote control and the projector. About how to set the ID number of the remote control, please refer to “Setting the ID number of the remote control”

(x page 59).

Note

fSet the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID] (x page 92).

Connecting the remote control to the projector with a cable

When you use the system with multiple projectors, use commercially available M3 stereo mini jack cables and connect the other devices to the <REMOTE 2 IN> terminal of the projector.

The remote control is effective even in places where an obstacle stands in the light path or where devices are susceptible to outside light.
